Anselacox 60 mg - 30 Tablets

Anselacox 60 mg - 30 Tablets

Description:

Anselacox 60 mg is a prescription oral medicine containing etoricoxib, a selective cox-2 inhibitor non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is formulated as film-coated tablets designed to relieve pain and inflammation associated with chronic and acute musculoskeletal conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, chronic low back pain, acute pain, and gout. By selectively inhibiting the cox-2 enzyme, Anselacox 60 mg helps reduce prostaglandin production responsible for pain, swelling, and stiffness, while aiming to preserve cox-1 activity that is important for gastric protection. This product is intended for adult patients under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Treatment of osteoarthritis, including pain, stiffness, and reduced joint function.
• Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis to reduce joint pain, swelling, and inflammation.
• Treatment of psoriatic arthritis-associated joint pain and inflammation.
• Treatment of ankylosing spondylitis and other spondyloarthropathies causing back pain and stiffness.
• Management of chronic low back pain of inflammatory or degenerative origin, as prescribed by a physician.
• Short-term treatment of acute pain, such as musculoskeletal pain, sprains, or strains, as directed by a doctor.
• Treatment of acute gouty arthritis to relieve intense joint pain, swelling, and redness.
• Symptomatic relief of pain and inflammation where a selective cox-2 inhibitor is considered appropriate by the healthcare provider.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Etoricoxib – 60 mg per film-coated tablet (selective cox-2 inhibitor NSAID).
• Excipients: The full list of inactive ingredients (tablet core and coating agents, stabilizers, colorants, etc.) is not available in the provided information. Please refer to the official package insert for a complete excipient list.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use Anselacox 60 mg exactly as prescribed by your physician. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration.
• Typical adult doses (for guidance only – always follow your doctor’s instructions):
  • Osteoarthritis: often 30–60 mg once daily, according to physician assessment.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, chronic low back pain: dose and frequency are determined by the treating physician based on disease severity and patient response.
  • Acute gout and acute pain: a higher dose may be used short term, as prescribed by the doctor.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the film-coated tablet.
• Can be taken with or without food; however, taking it at the same time each day is recommended. Food may delay onset of action slightly but can improve gastrointestinal tolerance in some patients.
• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration to control symptoms and reduce the risk of side effects.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed tablet.
• Do not use in children unless specifically instructed by a specialist; safety and dosing in pediatric patients may be limited.
• Regular monitoring (e.g., blood pressure, kidney and liver function) may be required for long-term use, especially in patients with risk factors.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective relief from inflammatory pain associated with arthritis and musculoskeletal disorders.
• Reduces joint swelling and stiffness, helping to improve mobility and daily function in conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
• Offers targeted cox-2 inhibition, which may lower the risk of certain gastrointestinal side effects compared with some non-selective NSAIDs, when used as directed.
• Helps control acute gout attacks by decreasing intense joint pain, redness, and inflammation.
• Supports better quality of life by enabling patients to perform daily activities with less pain and discomfort.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to etoricoxib, other cox-2 inhibitors, or any component of the formulation.
• Contraindicated in patients with active peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding, or severe inflammatory bowel disease.
• Contraindicated in patients with severe heart failure, established ischemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, or cerebrovascular disease, unless specifically evaluated and approved by a specialist.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of hypertension, edema, heart failure, or other cardiovascular risk factors; etoricoxib may increase blood pressure and cardiovascular risk.
• Use with caution in patients with renal impairment or dehydration; NSAIDs may worsen kidney function.
• Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment; dose adjustment or avoidance may be necessary depending on liver function.
• May increase the risk of serious gastrointestinal events (bleeding, ulceration, perforation), especially in elderly patients or those with prior GI disease or concomitant anticoagulant use.
• May interact with other medications such as anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin), antiplatelets, diuretics, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, lithium, and certain other NSAIDs. Inform your doctor about all medicines and supplements you are taking.
• Not recommended during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, unless clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor.
• Not recommended during breastfeeding unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk; consult your healthcare provider.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, kidney disease, liver disease, history of stroke, gastrointestinal ulcers, bleeding disorders, or diabetes.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without appropriate medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not use beyond the expiry date or if the blister pack is damaged.
